Tennessee will make the return trip to Provo for the second leg of its home-and-home series with BYU in 2023…BYU is not a member of a conference, but the Cougars have a storied history, capturing the 1984 national title while winning 23 conference titles in the WAC and Mountain West.

Tennessee will have an open date the week before playing Georgia for just the second time since 2007…The Vols’ most recent win over the Bulldogs, in 2016, came when quarterback Josh Dobbs found wide receiver Jauan Jennings for a 43-yard Hail Mary touchdown with no time remaining.

The Vols had back-to-back 50-point games against the Wildcats in 2014 (50-16) and 2015 (52-21), and nearly made it three in a row with a 49-36 win in 2016… The game in 2019 will mark the 115th meeting between UT and UK, dating back to 1893 – the most games Tennessee has played against any opponent all-time.
